Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;

还有那撒在荆棘里的，就是人听了道，

还有那撒在荆棘里的，就是人听了道，

还有那撒在荆棘里的，就是人听了道，

种子落在荆棘丛中，是指人虽然听过道，

那撒在荆棘里的，是指另一些人；他们听了道，

那被撒进话语的‘荆棘丛’是另外一些人，那些人是这样的：他们听了这话语，

還有那撒在荊棘裏的，就是人聽了道，

還有那撒在荊棘裏的，就是人聽了道，

還有那撒在荊棘裏的，就是人聽了道，

種子落在荊棘叢中，是指人雖然聽過道，

那撒在荊棘裡的，是指另一些人；他們聽了道，

另有的是那些撒到荊棘裏的：這些是人聽了道，

那被撒進話語的『荊棘叢』是另外一些人，那些人是這樣的：他們聽了這話語，

播於棘中者、乃人聽道、

播於棘中者、猶人聽道、

播於荊棘中者、指人聽道、

落於荊棘中者、譬人聞道之時、

And what is seed scattered among thorns like? The people hear the message.

And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word,

The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God’s word,

Others are like seed sown among thorns; these are the ones who hear the word,

And others are the ones sown with seed among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,

Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word,

And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,

Others are sown among thorns; these are the ones who hear the word,

And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

Others are the ones sown among thorns: They are those who hear the word,

Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.

The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.

Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.

This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem:“ Break up your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns.
